Audio Issues upon latest install

Anyone else having audio issues in PPro? After save and relaunch, I'm having issues with plugins within audio track mixer not retaining settings. Particularly EQ. I'm also having issues with fader/volume track levels within audio track mixer not retaining settings and levels upon relaunch. BTW, My automation settings are shut to off. thanks.

Actually discovered that even with the project still open , after an export either within project or sent to media encoder, once export was done, settings audio levels and settings whacked out when going back to the project. I tried deleting render files/previews, etc.. but didn't make any difference. I copied and pasted into a new sequence and that didn't work. I then brought the sequence into Audition, saved project and brought stereo.wav file back into premiere and re-exported and that seems to have worked. but this is a pain.
